RF Exposure
General Statement on RF energy
Your wireless WAN embedded PC contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your Notebook PC, the system handling
your connection controls the power level at which your Notebook PC transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information
This wireless WAN embedded PC is included a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at
the body was 0.420 W/kg. (SAR measurement distance is 1.5 cm from the phantom)
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls to keep the mobile devices away
from the head and body.

Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the Notebook PC must be used with a
minimum of 20.8 cm antenna separation from the body (The Tx antenna is located in the top of the
LCD).
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant
guideline limits
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organisation
(WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of the Notebook PC. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit
their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of connections, or using ‘hands-free’
devices to keep your Notebook PC away from the head and body.
